Appeal No. 1 of 1993 along with an application under section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of four days' delay in filing the said appeal. But the then learned Assistant District Judge, Jangipur vide order dated April 8, 1994 was pleased to dismiss the said Misc. Appeal on the ground that the petitioner did not give any explanation for the four days' delay in filing the said appeal.
(3.) That being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the impugned judgment and order dated April 8, 1994, the petitioner has filed the revisional application along with an application under section 5 of the Limitation Act on the grounds that the petitioner is an old lady and the learned Assistant District Judge erred in law in not condoning the four days' delay in filing the appeal and also the learned Assistant District Judge did not consider that the delay was due to mistake of the lawyer in not giving her proper advice to give the explanation in the application under section 5 of the Limitation Act and hence the petitioner has filed the revisional application along with an application under section 5 of the Limitation Act praying for condonation of delay in filing the revisional application before this Court.;
